I attended Johnson & Wales University Charlotte to get my Bachelors in Culinary Arts & Food Service Management. During school I struggled to find my niche in cooking, which allowed me to experience di... fferent positions within the food industry. I performed front of house & back of house roles for event caterers, professional sports stadiums/arenas, and traveling sporting events throughout Charlotte, NC. I have managed franchise locations for brands like Clean Juice and Rumble Boxing, & developed the menu and execution plans as well as provided meal prep services for gyms such as Hive Fitness. All of my experiences and positions taught me so much, and led me to realize that I prefer home cooking - the type that is un-rushed, filled with love, rhythm, & done with the intention of nourishing. My goal is to help my clients THRIVE in their kitchen. My grandmother fed anyone in her community who asked, and always said there was “plenty in the pot”. I want to continue that legacy by teaching others how to fill the pot without emptying the bank. read more

I was born & raised in the Carolinas and recently moved to Georgia with my older sister. I love all things superhero & supernatural - anything that reminds us that the world is not just capped at the ... sky, but there are so many possibilities out there just waiting to be experienced. My favorite colors are any variation of blue and green, my favorite thing to cook is steak & mashed potatoes, & my go to snack is spicy nacho doritos mixed with UTZ white cheddar popcorn, and a side of orange slush. What to expect in my class? Smiles, understanding, and some really bad mini dance moves. The cost to simply survive is absolutely insane. From personal experience, I want to show you how to THRIVE when you eat without having to spend most of your check on food. Join me at the table!read more
